Farewell, Meese Rocks

[joe1896]

As the owners of the late Meese Rocks, we wanted to collectively send a tremendous, heartfelt thank you the Derby Trail community for starting this thread and for your kind words. When we decided to start this tiny stable only 2.5 years ago, we never in our wildest dreams could have imagined that we would have a horse talented enough to win high-level races while simultaneously capturing the love and respect of a wide array of thoroughbred fans. Meese Rocks' passing at once embodies the highest of highs and lowest of lows in thoroughbred ownership.However, the support that we have received (mostly from perfect strangers such as yourselves) gives us tremendous strength in an otherwise very difficult time.

Thank you so much for your kind words of support. We cannot adequately express how meaningful it is to us to know that there are others out there (near and far) that were able to appreciate and admire our mare the way that we could. We are going to leave the post up for a few days longer, as there will be a bit more local coverage. Please stay up on our blog to follow our journey as we try to pick up the pieces. Again, from the bottoms of our hearts, thank you sincerely. May our girl rest in peace.
